    I have no kids but I don’t have 3 money.

    Turns out being the sort of person who -specifically- doesn’t want to deal with any of the responsibility even tangentially related to kids also isn’t well suited for the responsibilities of a regular 40hr/wk year round job… or being an independent adult at all really.

    (It’s me and literally nobody else I’m speaking about above, just for the record)

      That’s a stretch, and maybe true for you, but the world is full of people, such as you described, that haven’t got that issue. Not wanting kids doesn’t automatically make you bad with responsibilities.

      It only makes you a person that doesn’t want kids.

      Edit: I can’t read

        Literally said in the comment you replied to that I was talking about myself and nobody else (and it was never edited) so not sure why you responded with this.

    Imagine paying for health insurance. Might as well burn your money, at least you’d get some heat.

      Or hope you get hired by a European based company that gives a little bit more of a shit about you

          It’s weird when they respect basic human rights. Totally fucks your perspective XD

          Applies the other way as well: A decade ago ended up not signing the contract after initially accepting the position at a major US chip makers EU office - with managers in the US - as it became clear during the process to get to that point there’ll be cultural compatibility issue for my spoiled EU citizen ass, even though the office was in the EU, and they’re forced to follow our labour laws.
